Bird Photos

Modern birds are characterised by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart,
and a lightweight but strong skeleton. All living species of birds have wings—the now extinct flightless Moa of New Zealand was the only exception.
Wings are evolved forelimbs, and most bird species can fly, with some exceptions, including ratites, penguins, and a number of diverse endemic
island species. Birds also have unique digestive and respiratory systems that are highly adapted for flight. Some birds, especially corvids
and parrots, are among the most intelligent animal species; a number of bird species have been observed manufacturing and using tools,
and many social species exhibit cultural transmission of knowledge across generations.
